    Man, that NY Times story is really quite disgusting. It’s ALL guessing and innuendo. I especially like the line about Arriaga not writing as complex a screenplay for THE THREE BURIALS OF MELQUIADES ESTRADA because he didn’t want to “overtax the abilities of Tommy Lee Jones.” Ohhh Mr. Terrence Rafferty…you know so much….please, tell us more. Is there life after death? I mean, where the fuck does this clown get off even thinking that? Whatta moron.

“One of the things I wish I could do in my life would be to watch this film through somebody else’s eyes. I just can’t. I still see it as just a giant mess, and other people are seeing that it has a shape. That’s really exciting, because I still have a hard time seeing it clearly.”

“Anyway, Hitchcock eventually saw a rough cut of High Anxiety. He enjoyed it. But he said nothing after it. He just left. I [thought he] wasn’t happy. The next day, about 11 o’clock in the morning, I get this enormous, beautiful case of Chateau Haut-Brion 1961. That was almost 20 years old [at the time]. I mean, it was priceless. And there were magnums six of them, in a wooden case. Haut-Brion. I mean, oh my God. I’ve still got three of them left waiting. I keep all the good wines.”
What kind of occasion is worthy? When will you know it’s time to go into number four?
“A real, real occasion. I won’t drink it just because it’s a family occasion. I’ll drink it with guys that know what a good wine is and care about, you know, exquisite wines. I have a couple of friends that know what a good wine is.”
~ Mel Brooks, Foodie
